Describe your issue:

In printer.cfg i have only one [mcu] specified with a single serial = line but it still gives me the error that it has to be specified and im just entirely confused on where im supposed to go after everything i’ve tried and learned

  1. Make sure to run a recent and unmodified Klipper version on your host as well as on the printer board.
  2. Running Klipper under a virtual environment is not supported. Might work, might not. See Running Klipper in a Virtual Machine (VM)

Are there any alternatives to Desuuuu klipper so i can use the touchscreen on my printer?

Unfortunately, nothing straight forward

The Dgus stuff is ages old and always requires modded Klipper versions.

Unfortunate, will there ever be proper support for the dwin t5uid1 screens?

Very unlikely. Klipper’s philosophy is to concentrate on printing and leave interfaces, etc., to products like Mainsail, Fluidd, and KlipperScreen (to mention only the main ones - there are more). KlipperScreen is considered the “official” way for touch screens.

If you want, you could call all screen implementations in Klipper “legacy”.
